EA FC 27 TOTW 3: Full Squad, Base Card Upgrades & Best Players

Chawinga leads TOTW 3 at 90 OVR, with Pace increasing from 91 to 92, Dribbling from 86 to 87, and Physical from 84 to 86. Passing also improves from 81 to 83, giving her a little more support around her main attacking strengths.

The detailed attributes explain her appeal better than the +1 Overall: 93 Acceleration, 91 Finishing and 92 Strength give her an unusual combination of speed, end product and physical presence for a wide attacker. Her 89 Short Passing also supports combinations when the direct route is closed. At LM or LW, she looks well suited to attacking space and driving toward goal, although 72 Balance is a limitation to consider in tight areas. The upgrade refines an already capable Base Item, so compare the price gap before buying.

Ødegaard only moves from 86 to 87 OVR, but his Pace jumps from 65 to 76. Physical also rises from 63 to 68, while Passing and Dribbling reach 89 and 88.

That +11 Pace increase addresses a much more obvious weakness than another point of Passing would. His Base Item already had the technical quality to create chances; the TOTW gives him more mobility to find passing angles and support attacks around the box. His 5-star Skill Moves add options in possession, although the 2-star Weak Foot remains a limitation. He looks most interesting as an attacking creator rather than a midfielder picked for defensive coverage.

Gyökeres reaches 87 OVR with 83 Pace, 88 Shooting and 88 Physical. Passing and Dribbling both improve by two points, reaching 74 and 80.

The detailed attributes underline his finishing and physical profile: 90 Finishing, 91 Shot Power and 92 Strength. Those numbers make him an appealing option for players who want a central striker capable of finishing chances and holding off defenders.

The upgrade does not turn him into a nimble playmaker. With 73 Agility and 73 Balance, his profile still points toward direct runs, combination play and finishing rather than constant tight turns.

Modrić receives a similarly useful upgrade: 65 → 75 Pace and 59 → 65 Physical, despite only gaining one Overall point. The detail behind that Pace boost matters too, with Acceleration rising from 74 to 80 and Sprint Speed from 58 to 71.

His 88 Passing and 87 Dribbling are backed by 90 Agility, 90 Balance and 92 Composure. That gives him an appealing profile for receiving in midfield and keeping a passing move alive, while the extra speed reduces his Base Item’s mobility gap. He can contribute defensively with 74 Defending, but 56 Strength still makes a more physical midfield partner advisable.

Félix does not receive a dramatic statistical transformation. Pace and Shooting both improve from 81 to 83, Passing reaches 80, and Dribbling rises to 85. His appeal is how those numbers fit around 5-star Skill Moves, a 4-star Weak Foot and 90 Agility.

The TOTW can play CAM, LM, LW and ST, giving you several ways to fit him into an attack. With 84 Finishing and 83 Short Passing, his profile supports a player who combines around the box as well as taking chances himself. He deserves attention below the headline ratings, but the modest improvement over his Base Item means the price premium still needs checking.

Mbemba’s 75 → 80 OVR upgrade brings improvements directly relevant to a centre-back. Pace rises from 65 to 75, Defending from 75 to 81, and Physical from 74 to 81.

The detailed attributes reinforce that defensive profile: 83 Standing Tackle, 80 Defensive Awareness and 86 Strength, alongside 88 Jumping. The extra Pace gives him more room to recover, while the defensive and physical boosts strengthen the areas you actually select a centre-back for. His 78 Short Passing also offers a useful outlet when building from the back. At 75 Pace he still needs protection against fast runners, but this is a substantial improvement over his Base Item.

Mwene gets a well-placed spread of upgrades: Pace goes from 75 to 82, Defending from 69 to 76, and Physical from 69 to 78. Dribbling also reaches 80, making this more than a defensive boost to his 75-rated Base Item.

His detailed attributes are particularly interesting for an active full-back: 87 Agility, 90 Balance, 82 Crossing and 92 Stamina. Those numbers suggest a useful profile for supporting attacks and repeatedly covering the flank. Eligibility at LB, RB, LM and RM adds flexibility, while his 4-star Weak Foot helps his appeal on either side. The 76 Defending remains a compromise, but the Overall rating understates how much this card has improved.

Danny Namaso changes from LM to CAM, reaching 86 Pace and 84 Dribbling. He looks interesting for carrying the ball through central areas, although 70 Passing limits his appeal as the main distributor.

Zeki Amdouni gains 11 Pace and 12 Physical, reaching 78 and 72. With 82 Shooting, 78 Passing and 84 Dribbling, he becomes a more rounded option for combinations around the box.

Shea Charles moves from CDM to CM and gains 10 Pace. His 80 Passing, 77 Defending and 83 Physical give him a more balanced profile for supporting both attack and defence.

Jaedyn Shaw reaches 85 Pace, 82 Passing and 84 Dribbling, with Shooting improving from 72 to 78. She is worth checking for a wide role that involves creating chances as well as running into space.
